What to publish in a company newsroom in 2026: ten content types journalists use

Journalists visiting your corporate newsroom in 2026 expect more than a list of press releases. They look for images, background material, customer cases and impact reports that help them write a story. The platform starts at 1,750 euros per year.

Press releases with a clear lead and a quote form the core

A press release is the core of any newsroom. The lead answers who, what, where, when, why and how, as the KNBSB guidelines state. The headline tells what the release is about. A quote adds a personal touch that is not purely factual. Releases sent through De Perslijst, the journalist database and sending system, are published automatically in the newsroom from PR-Dashboard. That saves a step and keeps the newsroom current without extra work.

Images in media libraries and folders support every story

Photos make a newsroom usable. The newsroom from PR-Dashboard organises images neatly in media libraries and folders, so journalists can find the right visual fast. The platform also lets you add photos, videos, downloads and documents to news items. For guidance on image formats and folders that stop old logos spreading, see our article on images in a press room.

Background articles on policy files add needed context

Complex topics need context. Post background articles on policy files, downloadable images of public projects and current positions of officials, as recommended for government communicators. This type of content gives journalists the depth they cannot get from a single release. PR-Dashboard keeps background articles structured and findable in the long term, so they stay useful months later.

White papers and CEO columns show technical and personal views

Technical white papers belong in a newsroom when your company has expertise to share. They show what your team knows and give journalists a source for detailed claims. The platform's intuitive editor makes adding a white paper simple, including images. A CEO column gives your leadership a voice, and journalists use such columns to quote a named person with a clear position.

Customer cases and interviews prove results and add human angles

Customer cases prove what your product or service does. Write them as a story: the problem, the solution, the outcome. Include numbers where you can. The newsroom from PR-Dashboard lets you add downloads and documents to a case, such as a one page summary or a data sheet. Interviews with your developers, designers or executives add a human angle and give journalists direct quotes. A follow button lets journalists indicate they want your news, so interviews reach the right people.

Impact reports, downloads, videos and an agenda complete the mix

Impact reports show what your organisation achieves. They work well for nonprofits and public bodies: interviews with beneficiaries and policy analyses fit here too. PR-Dashboard keeps these reports structured and findable, so a journalist can pull up last year's report in seconds. The platform also makes releases findable in search engines, including AI tools, which extends the reach of your impact data. Journalists also want assets they can use, and PR-Newsroom lets you add downloads and documents to any news item, from logos to fact sheets. Videos can sit alongside them in the same item. An agenda tells journalists what is coming: webinars, product launches, press conferences.

The PR-Newsroom platform brings all ten content types together

PR-Newsroom has an intuitive editor for news items including images, media libraries and folders, and search by labels, tags or keywords. Releases sent through De Perslijst publish automatically, and the newsroom keeps everything structured and findable in the long term. The platform also makes releases findable in search engines, including AI tools. For a comparison with a press portal, see our guide on press portals versus your own newsroom.

A release template fits the newsroom structure well

A newsroom is only as good as its content. Write releases with a lead that answers the five Ws and an H, and end with a boilerplate that describes your company. Add a quote that gives a personal touch, not just facts. For a full template, read how to write a press release for your newsroom.
